Fortnite Reveals Hatsune Miku Collab

Summary

• Hatsune Miku arrives in Fortnite on January 14th.
• Two Miku skins—her classic look and a NEKO version—will be available. The classic skin will be in the item shop.
• Special cosmetics and music will also be added.

Get ready, Hatsune Miku fans! The virtual pop star is making her Fortnite debut on January 14th. You'll be able to add her to your collection in a couple of ways: purchase her classic skin in the item shop, or unlock the NEKO Miku skin through a new Festival Pass. Miku joins a long line of celebrities and fictional characters in Fortnite, adding to the game's already impressive roster.

Fortnite's success is partly due to its innovative monetization model, featuring seasonal battle passes filled with iconic characters. Previous seasons have included heroes and villains from DC and Marvel, and even Star Wars characters. This season continues the trend, welcoming Miku to the party.

A new trailer confirms Miku's arrival, showcasing her in Fortnite's Festival game mode. The classic Miku skin will be available in the item shop, while the NEKO Miku skin is part of the Festival Pass. This pass, tied to Fortnite's music-focused Festival mode, offers quests and objectives that reward players with skins and other items. It's similar to the regular battle pass, but with a musical twist.

Fortnite Reveals New Hatsune Miku Festival Update

Hatsune Miku is a unique addition to Fortnite; a real-life sensation and a fictional character all in one. This 16-year-old anime-inspired pop star, the face of Crypton Future Media's music project, has starred in countless songs. She's a perfect fit for Fortnite's current anime-inspired aesthetic and its Japan-themed Chapter 6 Season 1, titled "Hunters."

Chapter 6 Season 1 introduces new items and gameplay changes, including long blades and elemental Oni masks, adding a distinctly Japanese flair to the battles. The fun continues beyond Miku's arrival, with Godzilla also set to appear soon.
